wild thing.

The check I just deposited was so small the teller reached her hand under the glass and squeezed my hand and told me stay strong

Y'all want to hold onto this illusion that the only difference between those who have & those who don't is how hard they work, but no.

Financial literacy is important. It CAN help you manage windfalls or decent salaries, but making minimum wage, as of now, is to be stuck.

You can't manage money you don't have access to. That's like me taking a class on photography with no access to a camera. It's just theory.

Not enough people understand that budgeting doesn't work when you don't make a livable wage with room for saving.

Also if it "offends," I don't really care. Simply because a commentary such as this offends you doesn't mean it isn't apt and necessary.

Because THIS is the nature of parody, of speaking truth to power, of commenting on the exploitation of black bodies for white moralizations.

Are you objecting to poking fun at self-centered white women on voluntourist trips or humanitarian romps objectifying African people? Why?

If this parody offends you, have a very deep reflection as to what you're defending.

...let me assure you that this account is hysterical because it is such a good reflection of reality (albeit a slight exaggeration).

There've been a couple of people in my mentions saying "this can't be real" or "this isn't funny"...

So before you ask a dumbass question posturing yourself as an exception to a "stereotypical norm," go do some research.

Black people do things we either simply enjoy or because we're shaped by the environments we inhabit with the resources we currently have.
